A raggedy new year

I will make no pretensions about 2026 being a good year but we can hope, right?

Last day at the AMC Market Arcade

We say the ping pong movie Marty Supreme at the second last day of the downtown AMC. I bought tickets for the Amherst theater accidentally but they let us in anyway. Hopefully it reopens as another chain, it is nice having a theater in walking distance.

The year of the fire dragon

paul - 04/13/2025 8:12PM

Last summer I bought a bunch of fire dragon shirts randomly. I had no idea I was a dragon. In fact, I always thought I was a snake. Then I did a little Chinese horoscope deep dive recently only to find out I'm not only a dragon, I'm a fire dragon. We spent the weekend Friday night at Riverworks for Bright Eyes with Masumi and Angelo, followed by a Saturday for Emily and Sam's bridal shower in Syracuse, followed by Sunday with Sam G in Rochester.

shine on, Mickey and Jordan

joe - 03/06/2025 11:10PM

I am trying to remember the first time I had met Mickey. I think it was way back in 2013, at what felt like the beginning of my adult life. If it wasn't at one of those Block Club parties, it was at e:mike's birthday (e:joe,58048). I remember sitting around a fire in the backyard. I think e:robert had brought him not long after meeting Mickey himself. The first photo I have is in our attic during that year's Halloween party. It feels so impossibly long ago right now. I remember meeting Jordan for the first time in the summer of 2021, when it finally felt like we could start leaving COVID behind. I don't really have the words to say how I feel about all this right now. Anything I write feels wrong because nothing about this is right. All I know it is I love and will miss them so much. They were a beating heart in the living being that is Allentown, Buffalo, our sprawling network of Rust Belt queers. I hope we can carry that light they shared.
